In Ulyanovsk, the court released the believer from the detention center, but with the condition

On May 16, 2019, the judge of the Leninsky District Court of the city of Ulyanovsk, Yulia Poladova, chose a measure of restraint for 62-year-old Alexander Ganin - a ban until June 23 to leave the house from 16:00 to 9:00 the next day, use the telephone and the Internet, as well as communicate with participants in criminal proceedings.

Earlier, on May 15, 2019, at 5:50 a.m. local time, FSB officers came to Alexander's house in Novoulyanovsk and searched him. Aleksandr himself was placed in a temporary detention center.

Aleksandr Ganin became the sixth believer in Ulyanovsk to be prosecuted for his faith. He is charged under Article 282.2 Part 2 (Participation in the activities of an extremist organization). The cases of all six were merged into one criminal proceeding. According to the investigation, the Ulyanovsk believers were engaged in "popularizing the ideas of Jehovah's Witnesses, promoting the superiority of these ideas over other religious teachings." Such an absurd accusation was made despite the fact that the Government of the Russian Federation clearly stated that the decisions of the Russian courts on the liquidation of organizations of Jehovah's Witnesses "do not assess the doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses, do not contain a restriction or prohibition to practice the above teachings individually."
